Rochester Hills Museum Hosts Summer Camps
Terrific Tuesdays are truly terrific in the Rochester Hills Museum Children’s Garden where parents, grandparents, and caregivers join their children for garden themed stories, crafts and treats. Children, ages 3-5, are invited from 10:00-11:00, for programs that include The Three Billy Goats, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Breakfast with Butterflies, Alphabet Soup, and Ladybug Picnic. Children, ages 6-10, learn about gardening with teacher and Master Gardener, Michele Dunham, from 1:00-2:30, with Sensational Soil and Wonderful Worms, Powerful Plants and their Perfect Parts, Fabulous Flowers, What’s Bugging Us, Tops and Bottoms – Plant Parts We Eat, Scarecrows and much more. Join us for Tuesdays, June 28, July 5, 12, 19, 26, August 2, 9, 16, and 23. Pre-registration is required and space is limited in our corncrib classroom. The cost for each Terrific Tuesday is $3 for Museum members and $5 for non-members. All grown-ups are free!
Little House by the Creek – One Day Camps are the perfect place to be on Thursdays, June 30, July 14, July 28, and August 11. Campers, ages 7-11, travel back in time to days along the Stoney Creek in a small village and take part in activities from the 1800s including children’s chores like hauling water from the creek, candle-dipping, sewing, rug-beating, vegetable gardening, tin-punching, and butter-churning. The school marm will teach them reading, writing and ‘rithmetic at the one-room schoolhouse and, if they get all of their chores and schoolwork done, there will be time to play with old-fashioned toys and go wading in the river! Re-registration is required and space is limited. Cost is $30 for Museum members and $35 for non-members.
Little House in the Village Writer’s Camp is planned for August 22-25 for ages 9-12. They will be using the Museum’s unique natural and historic setting to read, write and illustrate a variety of genres while experiencing life in a 1860s village – working and playing like yesterday. Pre-registration is required and spaces is limited. Cost is $120 for Museum members and $140 for non-members.
